Larry,
  I have used both telnet and NS/VT.  The major difference I have noticed
has been when making connections through the Internet.  NS/VT seems to hold
a connection better and if the connection is lost on the client end the
session on the HP3000 also exits.  With telnet I have ended up with a number
of ghost sessions left on the 3000 when I lost the connection.

Subject: Telnet vs NS/VT


We have been using NS/VT on our MPE/ix box for terminal emulation on our
PC's.  Over the weekend, we brought up telnet services and now have the
option of using telnet.  At the terminal end, we have noted no major
differences between telnet and NS/VT.

Now for the question...are there any advantages of using one method over
the other?
